Description
Robert Douglas Baker, located at 33 Market Place in Selkirk, is a tenement building dating from around 1820, with later additions and alterations. It is three storeys high and has three bays, with shop accommodation on the ground floor. The ground level features ashlar stone, while the upper storeys are made of cherry-corked whinstone, accented with painted ashlar dressings and droved ashlar tails. The rear elevation is harled. Notable architectural features include a cornice between the ground and first floors, an eaves course, and long and short quoins.
On the northwest elevation facing Market Place, the upper storeys display regularly spaced bays, each with a window, although the windows on the second floor are smaller. The central entrance consists of a panelled two-leaf door, flanked by fixed-pane plate glass shop windows. A sign reading "Home of The Original Selkirk Bannock" was painted between the second and third storeys in 1996.
The southwest elevation, facing Kirk Wynd, has two bays. The left bay is gabled and features line-rendered walls, painted at the upper storeys, with a window on each floor to the right. The right side has a two-storey bay with an attic, constructed of painted whinstone rubble, featuring a door and window on the ground floor, and a window on the first floor.
The building has four-pane timber sash and case windows on the second floor, while the first floor on the northwest elevation has plate glass timber sash and case windows. The roof is slate with ashlar coped skews. There is a brick painted wallhead stack at the gablehead of the left bay on the southwest elevation, and a harled wallhead stack on the northeast side.
The interior was not fully seen in 1996.
